1. Reverting to a Left Aligned Start Menu
The new Start Menu position may be somewhat unpleasant, especially if you are used to left aligned. It's a nice change Microsoft has made, but there's a reason why they don't like it. Luckily, the "Start Menu" can be put back in place. Here's how: Right-click Taskbar and click Taskbar Settings. Click to expand the Taskbar Behavior settings. Click the dropdown menu next to Taskbar Alignment and change it to Align Left. When selected, the "Taskbar" immediately moves to the left.
2. Take Advantage of 'Snap Layouts'
Window snapping has always been one of the best features of Windows. In Windows 11, this feature has been improved with the introduction of "snap layouts". Simply hover over the Maximize button to reveal different layouts ready for snapping. There are currently 6 different layouts available for selection. You can also access Snap Layouts with the Win+Z shortcut. After selecting the layout, you will be prompted to select another window to fill the remaining space. Once snapped, they will appear as a group in the Taskbar.
